Operating Instructions
DPI Adjustment
The MW5500 features a Pixart 3950 sensor with a DPI range of 200 to 30,000. Use the dedicated DPI button (usually located near the scroll wheel) to cycle through preset DPI settings or customize them via the Cherry Fusion software.

Polling Rate
The mouse supports a polling rate of up to 8000Hz in 2.4G wireless mode, providing a smooth and responsive cursor experience. A higher configuration computer is recommended to fully utilize the 8000Hz return rate.

Multi-Device Control and File Transfer
The MW5500 can control multiple devices (PCs, notebooks, mobile devices) with a single mouse. With the help of Cherry Fusion software technology, you can achieve cross-device operation and transfer images and files between devices, and even share clipboard content, without relying on cloud services or physical storage.


All devices must be under the same wireless network for these features. The driver can be downloaded from: https://www.cherry.cn/cherry_fusion/

Surface Care
The mouse features a delicate skin-friendly coating with a surface smoothness of Ra 0.384um, making it stain-resistant and easy to clean. To maintain its quality, wipe the mouse with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

- Lag or Unresponsive Cursor: If using 8000Hz polling rate, ensure your computer meets the higher configuration requirements. Try reducing the polling rate in the software if performance issues persist.
- Multi-Device Switching/File Transfer Problems: Verify that all devices are connected to the same wireless network. Ensure the Cherry Fusion software is installed and running on all connected computers.
